Between 18% and 22% of jobs listed on Greenhouse's platform in 2024 were considered ghost jobs, revealing a grim reality about the job market.
Jon Stross, Greenhouse's president, states that "the data highlights a troubling reality - the job market has become more soul-crushing than ever," reflecting widespread candidate frustration.
The survey revealed that three in five candidates suspected they encountered a "ghost job," illustrating a significant disconnect between job postings and actual hiring practices.
Interestingly, 70% of hiring managers believe it's "morally acceptable" to post ghost jobs, indicating a concerning trend about transparency in job listings.
